A Scary Black Saturday Story

Just when I thought I was going to have four straight days of staycation, I was dead wrong. There was some urgent stuff that I needed first thing in the morning of April 1, and I only found it out just last Wednesday at 4:45 in the afternoon where the next days would be holidays, yes, just a few minutes before I was about to go home . Ambot! It ruined all my hayahay plans. Instead of staying in the office after five because I had errands to do, I decided to just drop by the office on Black Saturday, because some officemates would be working on that day too. You know those month-end reporting the Accounting department does, those reporting does not recognize holidays. So lo and behold, I had to work on a Sabado de Gloria!

So Black Saturday came, I was at the office at two in the afternoon expecting that I could finish the work around five or six. Five o 'clock came, I was still working and left alone at the Finance office, everyone else went home. A few minutes later, a little girl wearing a white shirt came in. She had long hair, thin and looked pale. She stared at me but did not speak, then went out the door heading the Production area. I thought she was just a co-worker's daughter. I dialed a local number to ask someone something. No one was answering so I called the guard to ask if this person reported for work. The guard answered "Mam, kayo na lang po, si janitor, saka ako na lang ang andito sa planta" (Ma'am there is only you, a janitor and me left in the building)I told the guard "Ha? eh may bata dito pumasok sa office, kanino kayang anak 'to, di kaya taga labas nakapasok lang dito?" (But there's a kid that just came in, must be from around the area) Then the guard said "sige Mam, check ko sa paligid baka andyan pa"(Yes, I'll just checked if she's still there). But that time, I was scared already. I've heard ghost stories in this plant but never really experienced one.

So I went on working, thinking that the kid was just really from around the area because there's a mall and a residential building nearby. Or probably just a street kid, she did not look clean, by the way. Few more minutes had passed, I was so rushing the work so I could get home when the fax machine rang, it was out of paper so I put some. When the fax was printed I was so shocked with what I saw. A black and white photo of the girl I just saw! I threw the paper away, grabbed my bag then walked toward the emergency exit door. I was so scared I thought the hair in every part of my body were all standing straight. The door was locked and it was difficult to open so I just run toward the main door, but I was once again shocked when I saw the little girl through the glass door passed by the hallway and her clothes were covered with blood! Good grief, I tried to keep calm thinking that it was probably just my imagination! I went back to my desk and dialed the guard's number but no one answered so I just went out that door, but the little girl was gone. When I reached the guard's office, no one was there. I sat on the metal bench when the phone rang. It took me a few seconds to gather my defenses to answer the phone. Just before I was about to speak, I heard a girl's voice crying on the other line. I slammed the phone down and run as fast as I could. I heard the guard and the janitor calling my name but I never looked back. (please scroll down, as I'm too scared to continue this..)
